The following five individuals have different utility functions over food (good x) and clothing (good y): 1) u₁(x, y) = 3x²y 2) u₂(x, y) = 2√x + y 3) Uz(x, y) = x0.6y0.4 4) u₁(x, y) = x² + y² 1 5) us(x, y) = x + 3y For each of these people: a) Compute their marginal utilities of good x, MUx = Ju(x,y) MU, = ду du(x,y) ax b) Check whether the property of "more is better" is satisfied for both goods? Explain. [Hint: Check whether marginal utilities are positive assuming positive amounts of good x and good y] ƏMUX əx and marginal utility of good y, c) Does the marginal utility of good x diminish, remain constant, or increase as each of the individuals buys more x? Explain. [Hint: There are 2 ways to do it: 1) visually check what happens to the expression of MUx when x increases (does it decrease, keep constant or decrease?); or 2) take the partial derivative of this marginal utility with respect to x, that is ƏMUx .aMUX ƏMUX If 0, the marginal utility of x is increasing in x] d) Does the…
